Telling powerful human stories about the benefits of renewable energy matters. But nowhere near as much as $4 billion matters.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

Watched the clouds in the sky shift in the dark and everything ended (started?) with this warm glow before it turned drippy pinks and fushias. #SeenOnMyRun

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

GEESE!!! 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️ Welcome back you magnificent creatures.

I am once again telling you to #BanFossilFuels

US reporter: "Are you afraid of a US invasion of your country?" Iran's Foreign Minister: "No, we are waiting for them."

Waved to three ring billed gulls this morning. Now THAT'S a sign of spring. 😍 Welcome back you feisty noisy birbs. #SeenOnMyRun

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant. If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination. timesofoman.com/article/1691...

The last one is my fav. Excellent U-turn

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Happy Friday. #BanFossilFuels

“I have usernames older than you.”. Holy shit

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

Holy shit

A sobering fact: We’ve lost around 3 billion #birds in North America since 1970 — a loss of nearly one in four birds. And yet, this week a congressional panel is meeting to consider weakening the #MigratoryBirdTreatyAct. We'll continue to fight for them. Join us ➡️ bit.ly/4cu2DpR

Good news: Scientists were wrong about how bad sea level rise is. Bad news: It’s even worse than we thought.

Some of us are thinking of upgrading our #BikePacking set ups. Curious what bags people are using and why they love them or hate them. Happy to hear your cautionary tales!

My daughter: in the TLC song “No Scrubs,” what do they mean by “scrub”? Me: Honey this is the one and only pop song in history that opens up with a dictionary and thesaurus entry.

110% overdressed for a lunch run. Fake spring trying to lure me into false hope, but #MarchIsAWinterMonth #SeenOnMyRun

Me: #MarchIsAWinterMonth Also me: hopefully the rain this weekend will take care of a lot of the snow in Gatineau Park so we can bike on the roads soon. (Sorry ski friends. 🤷🏻‍♀️).

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced. They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon. The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

If you are not in arms control you would not know how well constructed the JCPOA (Iran deal) was. An absolutely beauty of an arms control agreement. Negotiated by 2 ministers who had doctorates in nuclear physics. Technically and politically so well designed. And the US just wiped its ass with it.

Starting tomorrow, you can watch fish traffic via an underwater camera livestreaming from an Utrecht canal. If you spot waiting 🐟, you can ping an operator to open the Weerdsluis lock gate & let them through. Highly recommend this for easing elevated stress levels, or if you just like helping fish

Personal news: swallows are back in town 🪶

Iranian authorities and Red Crescent Society officials report that more than 100 people, most of them girls, were killed at a primary school during joint U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. Let’s be clear: Slaughtering children in a school is an atrocity and a war crime. www.ft.com/content/055d...

There has never been a better time to accept and vocalize that Jews and the Israeli government are not the same thing. Yes, the Israeli government has worked hard for decades to make us believe opposing its actions is inherently antisemitic. But it isn’t true. It never was.

The human world is a bit of a... something or other. But bears, they're pretty great...

The death toll from Israel's strike on the children's elementary school in Minab, Iran is 85.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Remind me, when you slaughter 85 young school children, are you the Good Guys?

BREAKING: The death toll from a strike that hit a school in southern Iran has risen to 85 people, an official says on Iranian state TV. Follow AP's live updates for more.

Fyi friends. Gatineau park summer camping reservations are open.....!

We need a ticker showing the cost to the American taxpayer every time a bomb is dropped, a jet takes flight, a warship moves etc Seems to be plenty of cash for that, not for, you know, actual living.
